So today I put the oem 19's on and set off to break-in the rotors and pads.
I did 6 runs from 60-10 and three more from 80-10 to get them nice and warm. Then I drove around for a while without stoping to cool off.
All I can say is the 6 60-10 and 3 80-10 almost made me throw up. I'm serious... I do commercial aircraft engineering flight testing as part of my job. We test terrain/traffic avoidance and windshear alerting systems. I just got home from testing a windshear alerting system in Brussels with an ex-F16 pilot and I didn't get sick. These brakes shocked me; I came home and had to lay down because I was going to throw up.
Are they worse than a flight test?... no. Are they amazing... YES!
Here are the shots with them on the oem 19's.

Sort of, they are different offset and not exactly the same. The 19's are made by Rays and forged which does change quite a bit.
Given how much room the 19's have I think you will be fine. I would talk to the dealer you are getting them from and get a fitment guide just to be safe.

It is!
I kept the 19's on because I haven't had time to put my iForged on in the last few days. With the super light 19's and only 245's in the rear I can't keep traction anywhere. I downshifted to 4th at ~60 on the freeway and hit it just to have the back end come out on me! So much fun.
